A toxic love story
Cotton - perhaps the world's most popular, most thirsty and most poisonous raw material. So much so that our planet is unable to produce any more cotton than current levels.

Biocides have long been used to avoid bad odors in training and outdoor clothing because they kill bacteria. That is the old school way. New innovations allow us to use zeolites, a pumice‐like mineral, which also keeps the clothes fresher without killing living organisms. Take a look!
Every year, billions of kilograms of textiles are being added to the world’s growing problem of waste. That’s unnecessary because these textiles can be reused or recycled. Here is a look at what we’re doing to keep clothes in the loop, again and again. Fall in love with your products. It’s possible.
They’re very small. Almost unseen by the naked eye. However, microplastics have started to clog ecosystems all around the world. Our oceans will soon likely have more plastic in them than fish. Take a look at what we’re doing to help address this here.
We know that the best clothing is made by using the right, most appropriate materials. Very often, this actually means that new materials, ones which do the job perfectly, are developed and created. But sometimes, materials that have been evolved over tens of thousands of years - like down- are the ones that suit the garment and its purpose best.
When this is the case, it's important that sust
There is no such thing as a sustainable outdoor brand. No matter how good our intentions are, we always leave a footprint. It could be from the chemical composition of a material, the working conditions in a factory or the effect production and transport have on the climate.
Let us explain.
Before a product ends up in the store, it goes through many processes that all leave a footprint. For
Our long-term sustainability goals are to minimize the impact on people and planet while at the same time allowing and inspiring people to get out there to beat the elements. We realize that the road to a sustainable future is paved with challenges since all our products make an impression on this fantastic planet we live on. Hard work, wise decisions as well as influencing our different sta
Sustainability is about doing things a little better all of the time. Read about how we work with sustainability, and how far we have reached, in our new sustainability report.
We come from Sweden, a country of extreme weather and extensive landscape. A place where the outdoors isn’t just a far off place, it’s in the fabric of our culture and community. We are committed to creating gear that will support anyone, anywhere in their own outdoor adventure. We were founded in 1914 by Wiktor Haglöf, a visionary with a dream and a toolbox. Our story has evolved from humble beginnings, and we’ve ventured into new territory, creating technical designs that set a new standard in craftsmanship.
At Haglöfs, we are Outsiders by Nature. We draw outside the lines, think outside the box, and live outside our comfort zones. We encourage exploration both physically and mentally through embracing the outdoors. We believe that everyone can experience the outdoors, and do all we can to ensure that it will still be there for future generations to explore.
